(7) <br />? <br /> <br />Mrs. Sorge inquired as to why “Overtime” is so high? Mr. Morgan stated that this encumbers <br />maintenance, usually due to call-offs, the secretary, due to brochure, Rec Commission <br />meetings, budget, etc. This line item is not necessarily completely utilized. It is there to <br />encumber those situations requiring union employees to work overtime. We keep a fairly <br /> <br />tight reign on overtime expenditures. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Limpert noted that although monies are appropriated to each line item, the entire amount <br />is not necessarily spent, but it is there if it is needed. The amount is based on past <br /> <br />expenditures and experiences. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Morgan noted that “Building Repair & Maintenance” is the easiest line item to cut, <br />therefore, taking away our ability to make necessary repairs and improvements, and thus bring <br /> <br />in money. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Miller inquired as to the status of the road sign. Mr. Jenkins stated the sign money has <br />been “earmarked”, but nervous to go forth with the purchase due to other emergency repairs, <br />such as the electricity repairs and compressors. Mr. Miller asked if the money has been <br /> <br />encumbered. Mr. Jenkins responded that it has not been, no requisition has been cut to date. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Jenkins noted that we have no control over “Bank Charges”, “Hospitalization”, <br /> <br />“Insurance”, or “Workers’ Comp”. These figures come directly from the Finance Dept. <br />? <br /> <br />Mrs. Sorge asked for an explanation of “Employee Appreciation”. Mr. Morgan explained that <br />this is for an end of the year luncheon for the Rec Ctr employees (part and full time) as a <br /> <br />“thank you” for their efforts. <br />? <br /> <br />Mrs. Sorge asked for and explanation of “Special Services”. Mr. Morgan explained that this <br /> <br />is contracted services, such as Jeff Marshall, exercise instructors, Karrie Tipton. <br />? <br /> <br />Mr. Jenkins asked the reason for an increase in “Park Supplies”. Mr. Morgan stated that this <br />encumbers safety zone equipment to be purchased, which was not done this past year as <br /> <br />hoped. <br />? <br /> <br />Mrs. Sorge asked what “Holiday Celebration” was. Mr. Morgan explained that this is monies <br /> <br />set aside for community celebrations, such as Easter Open House and Fourth of July. <br />? <br /> <br />It was noted by Mr. Morgan and Mr. Jenkins that the “Bond Retirement Fund” encumbers the <br />following: Rink roof replacement (1998), Rink HVAC replacement (1999), sound and lighting <br /> <br />system , Mondo flooring in Rink, Rink lockers, and a drop ceiling (2000-01). <br /> <br />Deficit Reduction Plan: <br />Capital Improvements (114,000) <br />Misc. Capital (118,000) <br />Rink Revenue (summer) 36,000 <br />Concession 6,000 <br />Carry-over 30,000 + 20,000 add’l anticipated by end of 2001 <br />Vadikin/Munter 15,000 (amount encumbered in 2001 in dispute with Law Dept.) <br /> ( 27,000) would need to scrutinize where to cut these monies <br /> <br />Mr. Limpert suggested we take a look at projecting a higher percentage increase in revenue. <br />Perhaps, look at improving programs and increasing rates to generate revenue. <br /> <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />
